According to the L.A. Times, Perry hit the roof after the episode aired and reached out to executives at Turner, including Entertainment Chief Steve Koonin and Turner Broadcasting Chief Executive Phil Kent, to let the network know that he was rethinking his relationship with the company. Kent is said to have acknowledged to Perry that he should've been given a warning about the episode.

People close to the show have said that the original script made even less of an effort to alter the identity of McGruder's main character. McGruder, it's being reported, also wanted 'Pause' to be the season premiere, but the network allegedly chose to mix it in with other episodes to perhaps cause less controversy. Though 'Pause' has aired twice, it is not scheduled to run again, and there have been discussions about it being banned from the channel forever.

This episode aired June 20th and Tyler Perry flew off the handle about it !

I don't think he should have been upset , maybe i'm missing something !

it did kind of insult him.. cartoon or not.. and it's funny as ####.. I saw it
last week.. I think his response was appropriate though.. it won't make a
difference though.. they'll replace him with another ambitious and politically
and historically un-conscious black upstart in a flash.. and that'll be that..

Just as the movie Network, and the movies of Robert Redford , like 3 Days of the Condor, the Candidate, Lions for Lambs and Spy Game,

Spike also made a movie that was a double edged sword

Bamboozled was designed to make folks uncomfortable and at times we need to nbe mde uncomfortable in order to think deeply or outside of the Matrix

The Boondocks is ashow that has dangered me disgusted me at times;
but lways made one think sbout values clarification from the one aboutr Dr King which surely must have angered his family, to the one about the loos of temper or the wild N word moment were the grandfather kills another old cantankerous old man, to prove something to one of his grands;
disgusting? yes

vile? yes

But it packs a wallop and forces the Black community to look in the mirror

This show may be asking the questio why is it that 50 years after jim Crow and the Hollywood fear based Emasculation of the Black male image,
do we feel the need to have a man dressed in drag, to be the proveyor of wisdom and ethics to the Black community via fables on the silver screen?

When Flip Wilson did Geraldine, it was a throw back of Milton Burles joke skits, nothing more

do we feel the need to have a man dressed in drag, to be the proveyor of wisdom and ethics to the Black community via fables on the silver screen?

Hollywood is the brain child of white supremacy, and White supremacy as always feared the virility of the the BLACK MAN. The only way to control the image of the black man is thru emasculation and degradation in the media..heck even Denzel( the ultimate example of a Virile black man) got shot in the A$ss..smh..

Think about it, this is nothing new. The Abrahamic religions has done a splendid job with controlling and manipulating the image if the black woman to the point were we either seen as 'Harlots' see : JEZEBEL or SAINTS: see Mary..

Example:

I usually do not watch television, however I ran across a show called True Blood online and thought the series to be quiet good. I had to stop watching it because I noted the ONLY black male character with a recurring role is a cross dressing gay prostitute. Now don't get me wrong, the actor playing the part is BRILLIANT!, I looked him up to find he is a graduate of the prestigious acting school Juliad(sp), and as far as I can tell is straight in real life.

Happy Birthday Sister CocoButterSkyn! Thank you for the love, all the years! Please tell Sister Epiphany I said hello and that I miss and think of her often! I hope you both are doing well! Much Much Love and Peace!
